Grateful Dead

October 28 - November 3, 2013

Welcome back to the Tapers’ Section, where this week we have music from a short period in Grateful Dead history, early in Brent’s tenure with the band, with selections this week from 1979, 1981 and 1982.

Didn't happen. I'm pretty sure I commented along with at least 5 others. It somehow got wiped, unless I'm tripping - which could very well be. Are all our memories that short or did they actually miss a whole week without somebody letting them know?

Interesting time period for the band. According to Deadbase, they were on the road after about a months break. A couple shows after the one featured here they were playing MacArthur Court in Eugene. Another interesting tidbit is the recent breakout of Might as Well at the beginning of the August '81 run, where they had it in heavy rotation for several (about 6) shows in a row, either as a set closer or the 2nd set opener. That always stuck out to me when studying set lists or filling out j-cards from this span of shows...

P.S. Thanks Dead.net for getting this posted - - What happened to last week's entry with the St. Paul and MSG stuff?
